Chapter 385 Tertiary Foundation Beasts
Bai Chen sighed while putting the sacred sword back into the dimension ring just as he always did.
Then, he walked deeper into the forest without any care about the five pitiful corpses that had been cut in half.
Xin Ye city forbade killing without a sound reason. The hundred-beast forest did not have anything like that. Thus, there was no need to worry that the soldiers would come after him and take him to be charged.
The deeper the forest, the more nascent beasts he encountered.
None of them dared to come near him or hurt him. It wasn’t that they were afraid of him.
It was just that they instinctively knew that if they were to hurt Bai Chen, they would end up dead!
The instinct of the beasts was a lot sharper than humans’. It was only normal for them to believe in those instincts.
Bai Chen opened up the sub-mission window.
---
[Sub-mission: Slay 1 tertiary foundation beast]
Description: You have to kill 1 tertiary foundation beast
Reward for success: Win 150 points + 150 magical bonuses
---
Once he had read through the details, he closed the window and went deeper into the forest.
The part of the forest where he was now was where nascent beasts were. He had to go deeper in to find higher-level beasts.
The deeper one went, the more dangerous there was. If one were to be unlucky enough to coincidentally meet tertiary formation beasts, the kings of the forest, one’s life would be certainly over.
However, the kings of the forest were very hard to find. Since they were afraid of earth solid realm cultivators, they rarely appeared.
As for that, Bai Chen did not care much. He thought that he would not be that unlucky.
‘It is not only strong beasts I have to be aware of. I also have to be cautious of strong cultivators.’
Bai Chen was correct. This world was all about the survival fittest. The strong could kill anyone and the weak were bound to die.
Time passed by. Bai Chen struggled a little to get to the deeper part of of forest. He avoided every foundation beast that he found since he did not want to waste strength on it.
His goal was only that tertiary foundation beast that the sub-mission required.
Along that way, he also met 2 to 3 groups of cultivators.
It was good that the strongest ones among them were only at a secondary foundation level, the same level as Bai Chen, so nothing happened.
If he were to meet a tertiary foundation cultivator or a formation level one, they would probably fight him for his gold coins and belongings.
It was a cruel world. If he wanted to live, he had to take careful steps.
The path of training had always been cruel. It had always been merciless!
In the long history of the celestial world, Bai Chen knew from his memories that there were a great many wise men in every period. They were born to be the best of their time.
These wise men walked on this same path of power. However, there were only a few who actually reached the target.
A lot of them had lost their lives along the way. They had not been able reach their goal.
“Almost there.”
Bai Chen walked past a lot of trees. He slowed down since he knew that the tertiary foundation beast that was his target was nearby.
Bai Chen thought that it would be good if this tertiary foundation beast was not that strong; otherwise, he would have to depend on the sacred sword again.
If it was not that strong, he would kill it himself. Even if he had to struggle or be injured, it was for his own benefit. He would gain a lot of experience from the fight.
Suddenly, Bai Chen stopped in his tracks. His eyes narrowed. His body tensed up a bit at seeing a beast lunging angrily towards him from behind the bushes.
“Grrrrr!”
Its cry filled the area. Its big grey paw was aimed at Bai Chen. Its movement was rather slow. However, it was deadly!
‘A grey bear!’ Bai Chen cried internally. He dodged without hesitation.
Boom!
Its paw hit the ground hard. The slamming sound could be heard from anywhere. The ground where it had struck was cracked, forming a spider web pattern.
Small animals around were startled and started to flee the area as they felt the shaking.
“Grrrrr!” the grey bear roared. It was a malicious sound. It was covered with thick grey fur.
Both paws sported terrifying claws. It was not that different from an ordinary bear.
Compared to ordinary bears, though, it was more powerful and its body was more muscular. Its core was full of muscles. It was definitely a dangerous beast that should be avoided.
If someone else were to meet a grey bear, that person would definitely run away at first sight. That person would not stand still after evading its attack like what Bai Chen was doing right now.
‘Grey bears are one of the strongest tertiary foundation beasts. Yet, it is still inferior to others,’ Bai Chen thought.
‘This is because it is slow. However, its speed has been replaced with an immense strength.’
Bai Chen stared at the grey bear. He flicked his hands and two big knives appeared in them.
Bai Chen’s eyes shone with a fighting spirit. He wanted to try to fight the grey bear with these two knives.
Of course, normal knives would not be able to hurt it. However, he did not change his mind. He thought that he would only have to give it all his might!
